Yeah, I say let the haters hate, even if I disagree. And we do all have to remember, anytime any new car comes out, the first people to talk mad shit, are the previous Gen owners mad that their car will not be the newest and coolest. Happened when the s550 Mustang came out, and all the s197 guys talked mad crap about them, even thought it was literally an improvement in every single way.

Looks will always be subjective. From a performance standpoint, the car is definitely better in every way. There is no argument there

Given this probably the last manual ICE type R, i'm glad the style fits me better than FK8. When FK8 came out i was still in 30's, even then it's hard to pull the trigger. Went to dealership few times to see in person then walked away. I still like FK8 just bit too much for me, while Golf R is too plain (new one is better), FL5 seems in between. Now i'm #3 on the list from my local dealer, just need first 2 guys to hate it so much to drop the order. Win Win for everyone. :thumbsup:

too overstyled imo. Like a family car trying to be hip.
yup. haha I guess theres market for that.
The FL5 does give me strong Toyota vibes!
Yeah my girlfriend and I watched the reveal together and she thought it looks like Camry with black trims (my gf loves the design of Camry). So shes looting for me to get ctr this winter!

My first post gentleman but I found this video with engine start and exhaust. Haven't seen this in any other press vid and thought id share.

Starts at 6:34 in the vid

Shift knob looks just like the one in my 20 Si coupe. I was hoping for something new, however it's a nice knob.

Honda has a used a Titanium shift knob in every one of the Type R's. Its one of the design signatures.

That hood vent will allow the turbo heat to vent, hopefully eliminating the overheating tendencies on track.

This will be an amazing track car!
Vented hoods were never remotely enough to stop fk8s from overheating. Honda indeed took some steps to improve that. We already knew, from the Si and camo pictures, that they moved the engine backwards, made more room for the hot zone near the turbo, changed the turbo manufacturer (supposedly it's not Mitsubishi anymore), included a hood vent instead of a scoop, put a larger grill.... There's also that part close to the intake written 'Type R' that I still don't understand. Unfortunately mods similar to these were not enough to manage overheating in fk8s. Here I was hoping the new CTR would come with OEM oil coolers, but the lack of vents was telling...

It'll definitely be amazing at the race track.
